Ultrasonic Cleaning in Puerto Vallarta

Most patients should have a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease, wear braces, or are prone to plaque buildup, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings.

A routine dental cleaning is generally comfortable and painless. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, you may experience mild discomfort, but our team takes every step to ensure a gentle and comfortable experience.

A professional cleaning removes plaque, hardened tartar (calculus), and surface stains that cannot be eliminated with regular brushing and flossing. Your teeth are also polished for a smoother, cleaner finish.

A dental cleaning can make your teeth appear brighter by removing external stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. However, it does not change the natural color of your teeth like professional teeth whitening treatments.

Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and other oral health problems. They also allow your dentist to detect potential issues early before they become more serious.

A routine dental cleaning usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar buildup and your individual oral health needs.
